over four floors within the two buildings. Bridge Park East
has 9,911m2 of rentable office space, while the slightly
smaller Bridge Park West has 8,137m2 of rentable office
space. The office floor plates range between 1,590m2 and
2,823m2 in size and can each accommodate a maximum
of 3 or 4 individual tenants.
Secure basements below the podium provide 612
parking bays for tenants at a ratio of 3.5 bays per 100m2
rentable area, while visitors parking and cyclist facilities
(another GSSA initiative) are situated on the podium. Two
basement access points are provided off of the link roads
that run along the western and eastern edges off of the
site. These link roads connect directly onto Bridgeway.
The podium access to the visitors parking and cyclist
facilities is located along Bridgeway, directly between

movement network. Additional parking is available within
a few minutes’ walk in the parking facilities provided in
